NEC Motorcycle Live

[gbags]

I'll be passing the NEC on Tuesday or Wednesday and wondered what people thought about the Motorbike Live thing.

Better than sex.
Great day out.
OK, I suppose.
I'd rather go round Lidl with the wife.
Massive consumerist rip off.

No, I really am travelling that way and wonder how people rate it. Thoughts please.

I could do a ride report next week. Well, a drive report. I'll be in the car.

Great day out, the first time.

OK I suppose, the following year.

I think I will leave it a few years for the bike ranges to refresh before I visit again.

I always feel violated by the NEC parking charges so l have given it a miss for the last 10yrs or so
Never went on a bike just in case l saw to many bargains though!

You've obviously never had to use a parking meter (if you can find one) in central London :pinch:

i want to go but its £50 notes for me and the handler to walk around a big showroom,,, i am getting tight as i get older lol

[Andi_Archer]

£32 for me to purchase a ticket and space to park which is kinda steep considering how many people go to the event.Ill probably go up Monday as Im working nights.... :pinch:

Ticket and parking purchased, need a couple of bits so hope there are some bargains to take the sting out of the ticket price.

Next Sunday for me......it's either that or walking around Oak Furniture Land with the missus, so it's me, two mates and my son; sod the expense I'd rather sell my kidney than do the former :whistle:

Very good it is too. You get a numbered wrist band on your arm which must match the numbered band around the handlebars or you won't get out, it's also indoors so dry and clean.
We chain the bike gear onto the bike and walk around in our civies (thumbs)
